This ancient silver drachm, struck in Abdera, Thrace between 265 and 245 BC, bears the image of the gryphon, one of the most enduring creatures of Greek imagination. With the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle the griffin embodies a union of strength and vigilance. In antiquity, it was revered as a guardian of the divine, a protector of sacred treasures, and a symbol of unassailable power. Even in its stylized form on this coin, the griffin seems alive with the energy of myth, fierce yet noble.

To wear this pendant is to wear the stories that shaped the ancient world, where symbols were not merely decoration but talismans of meaning. Once carried in the markets of Abdera, this coin now endures as both emblem, artifact and adornment.
